    I love the sound of one of those big Gardner diesels, great sounding motors...

    I always thought Bicester was pronounced: "Biss-ter"....? 😕

    The cap on the top of the chimney is so that no rain water can fall into the exhaust system

    Lovely little Diesel, one of her siblings is preserved in the Netherlands and is alocated at the Museum Buurtspoorweg in Enschede. They recently restored a small rake of USATC trucks for it :D

    Hey, I live near Chatham! It's funny hearing names of places I'm familiar with here in north-eastern America haha... Of course, these names around here were inspired by the originals on your side of the pond (where my family is originally from!). We also have Barnstable, Falmouth, Yarmouth, Truro, Plymouth, Weymouth, Taunton, Boston, Cambridge, Worcester, Bridgewater, Ipswich... The list goes on and on and these are just names here in Massachusetts! It really is a "New England" over here. These are all mixed in with Native American names like Mashpee, Cotuit and Cummaquid as well.

    the plate above the exhaust is a spark arrester as the loco would go into sheds with explosives etc in short spark + boom = lots of paperwork

    Awesome video. My guess is that the plate on top of the chimney/exhaust is to keep water out, but that's only a guess

    Awwww that’s so adorable I love how it’s got a steam locos whistle

    Love the sound of the Gardner engines. I had a feeling that's what would be in this loco. This loco demonstrates that some things survive because they are a perfect fit for what they were made to do and did it well. It does not hurt if they look and sound great.

    The BMG Black Five, Royal Scot and Jubilee classes all have advanced modes for TS 2020. And soon, Caledonia Works products will have advanced modes as well, using the locomotion script. So its not just the German locos, you can also drive British ones as well.

    Got to love the Andrew Barclay stuff, I feel like the hood design and drive gear almost takes inspiration from their squarish saddle tanks, and that cab interior is almost steam engine-ey too, somehow. The jackshaft adds so much to the motion of this thing. A wonderful little engine!

    railways and warships...two of my favorite things! that makes this video amazing to me. I suppose if she hadn't started you could've gotten a blank round off Cavalier and fired her up in a different way, lol! you know, "Flight of the Phoenix" style.

    A vintage fire extinguisher for the vintage fire and a modern fire extinguisher for modern fires. lol
